Christian Cohle

Dublin based electronic / pop composer / singer-songwriter Christian Cohle returns with a brand new release ‘Jungle’, lifted from the upcoming album ‘WETLANDS’ due in 2023. 

Following on from his recent acclaimed singles 'Strength' and ‘Another Life’, ‘Jungle’ continues Christian’s introspective musical journey drawing on a myriad of influences from lo-fi electronics, alt-pop and jazzy-soul. The track delves into Christian's psyche, and lays bare his inner thoughts, incorporating an amiability and creativity into his music-making.

Christian says: “Jungle's about me grappling with my sense of control, about fading intimacy and doomed romance. I had watched a Werner Herzog documentary called Burden of Dreams, and the feverish jungle setting really inspired me. It became a metaphor that I used for what I was going through at the time. Feeling totally lost and swallowed up by a chaotic force I eventually had no other choice but to yield to. I tried to make the music reflect that also. I wanted Jungle to have this sense of adventure to it, a kinetic psychedelic energy, a sadness that moves along, through different time periods and places. It features a massive arpeggio section at the crescendo, produced from layered arpeggios, before fading into a beautiful ending, performed by Renaud Gabriel Pion on the bass clarinet.”

Drawing on all sorts of inspiration, from the production methods of Bon Iver, the music of Berlin's Moderat to the atmosphere and aesthetic of modern noir films like Blade Runner. Cohle blends electronica and other musical styles into what press has previously dubbed as 'ambient-pop' or 'atmospheric electronic'.

Filling up venues in Dublin, held on leading electronic Apple/Spotify playlists to performing at festivals local and abroad, including BBC 6 Music support from Tom Ravenscroft, Cohle hopes to further extend his renown this year, releasing his second album WETLANDS due later in Spring.
